Thank You Bot all worked!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Sure, I can help you with those questions!
To propose a new amendment to the Constitution, the correct answer is:
- approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate
To get this answer, you can refer to Article V of the United States Constitution. This article outlines the two processes through which a constitutional amendment can be proposed. One method is for two-thirds of both Houses of Congress (i.e., the House of Representatives and the Senate) to approve the proposed amendment. This is the correct response for the question.
Now let's move on to the second question. The First Amendment protects several rights. You need to select two out of the given options. The correct responses are:
- the right to practice a religion (or not)
- the right to criticize the government
To find these answers, you can refer to the text of the First Amendment itself. It states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus protecting the right to practice any religion or, conversely, deciding not to practice any. Additionally, the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, which includes the right to criticize the government. Therefore, these are the two rights protected by the First Amendment.
Lastly, the commonality between the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments is that they all deal with:
- voting rights
To determine this, you can look at the text and historical context of these amendments. The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, granted voting rights to African American men. The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted voting rights to women. Lastly, the 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age to 18. Therefore, the common theme across these amendments is the expansion and protection of voting rights.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
